In October 1927, the Gui warlords Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi commanded the 7th, 13th, and 19th Armies, and the 6th Army of Cheng Qian, who jointly attacked Wuhan in the west, and crushed the Xiang warlord Tang Shengzhi, who was entrenched in the two lakes.

【Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi】
In April 1928, Chiang coordinated with feng yuxiang of his friendly 2nd Army and Yan Xishan of the 3rd Army to launch the Second Northern Expedition, with the goal of eliminating the Beiyang Army's Zhilu and Fengjun forces that were still entrenched in Hebei and Shandong. In order to control the two lakes and prepare for the future war with Chiang Kai-shek, Li and Bai only dispatched the 12th Route Army, commanded by Bai Chongxi, to participate in this military operation.

Bai Chongxi's dispatch of troops this time is also equivalent to picking peaches. In September, the Gui army arrived at the eastern Hebei front, by this time because Zhang Zuolin was killed, the Feng army had defected and withdrew from Shanhaiguan, and only the remnants of the Zhilu coalition forces in Beijing and Tangshan were left in Guannei. Under the attack of the White Army, it took only more than 10 days to solve this remnant of the enemy, and Zhang Zongchang, the leader of the Zhilu Coalition Army, became the commander of the Light Pole and was forced to flee to Dalian to seek refuge from the Japanese. The three divisions of Fengjun Wei Yi were reluctant to leave the pass, and were incorporated by Bai Chongxi into the 30th Army, which was later renamed the 54th Division.

Military Instruction Regiment.
The teaching regiment was formed by the expansion of Bai Chongxi's guards, and after two years of following Bai Chongxi's Northern Expedition, the officers and men of the teaching regiment finally entered the ancient capital of Beijing.
Beijingers rarely meet Guangxi people, and they are very curious about these Gui Jun, who wear shorts, leggings and straw shoes.
When the officers and men of the teaching regiment lined up to walk through the streets of Beijing, the crowd cheered and welcomed, while pointing and talking.

After the end of the Second Northern Expedition, Bai Chongxi was stationed on the spot in the name of the former enemy commander of the 4th Group Army.
The general headquarters was set up in the Nine King's Mansions in Beijing, so that the Beijing and Tang areas were equivalent to becoming the territory of the Gui clan.
At this time, there were also two lakes and Guangxi and other places controlled by the Gui army, and Bai Chongxi was very proud of this, often saying to the people around him:
“
Even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was no more than that!
”
In order to control Hunan, Bai Chongxi also instructed Hu Zongduo, commander of the 19th Army, to attack his former ally Cheng Qian, surround and disarm his 6th Army in one night, and drive away Lu Diping, the provincial chairman appointed by Chiang Kai-shek.
At this time, Jiang Shi, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and li and Bai's three allies were very unhappy about the downsizing of the national army, and they were planning to find an opportunity to solve them one by one. Bai Chongxi's seizure of Hunan was tantamount to completely tearing his face with Jiang, and Jiang decided to take Li and Bai first. Bai Chongxi also expected a great war between him and Chiang Kai-shek, and on the one hand he sent Ye Qi's troops of the 12th Army back to Hunan for reinforcements, and on the other hand, he transported two new corps from Wuzhou, Guangxi, to strengthen the strength of the Guangxi people around him.
Jiang Shi had another way to deal with Bai Chongxi, and he saw that the 12th Route Army was all reorganized Tang Shengzhi's troops, so he sent a huge sum of money to Tang Shengzhi, who was doing nothing in Shanghai, promising to help him recover the troops taken by Bai Chongxi, and Tang Shengzhi was of course very happy about this.
He was sent by Chiang Kai-shek to plot against the first
The Road Army's is the first
Former military commander Liu Xing
After the troops were reorganized, he was driven out of the army by Bai Chongxi, so he hated Bai Chongxi to the bone and was naturally very willing to do this for Jiang.
[Tang Shengzhi, commander of the 8th Army of the Former Northern Expeditionary Army, who plotted a comeback]
Because Bai Chongxi liked to promote Guangxi people and discriminate against non-Guangxi people, bailiffic and lower-ranking officers complained about tang shengzhi's two demotions.
As soon as Liu Xing came to do the work, everyone immediately expressed their support and were willing to return to Tang Shengzhi's hands. Li Pinxian, commander of the 51st Division (formerly the 12th Army), and Liao Lei, commander of the 53rd Division (formerly the 36th Army), saw that everyone hated Bai Chongxi, and in order to keep their military power, they had to agree to everyone's request.
While lobbying the senior officers of the 12th Route Army, Liu Xing also informed several senior officers of the 54th Division of the plan of "opposing white support for Tang." At this time, there were also the 44th and 45th Divisions of Fang Zhenwu's Fang Zhenwu Department of the 4th Army of the 1st Army, and Hao Mengling, a brigade commander under Wei Yisan, was afraid that when the time came to act, he would cause a misunderstanding among the friendly 4th Army, so he sent someone to inform Fang Zhenwu: "Bai Chongxi plotted against Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek, and when he makes a declaration, please do not beat us." When commander Fang wants Bai Chongxi, we will tie him up and send him. ”
Hao Mengling thought that Fang Zhenwu was a subordinate of the Jiang clan and should not leak the news, but he did not expect that Fang Zhenwu was previously a general of Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army, and this time it was only due to combat needs that he was temporarily under the command of the 1st Group Army, so he had no interest in helping Chiang Kai-shek eliminate the Gui clan. Fang Zhenwu was recuperating with Bai Chongxi in the Union Hospital at this time, and he immediately told Bai Chongxi everything Hao Mengling had said.
[Hao Mengling in the movie "On the Taihang Mountain", then the brigade commander of the 54th Division]
When Bai Chongxi heard that his men were going to kidnap him and give him to Jiang, he was so frightened that he fled the city of Beijing overnight to join the Guangxi troops in Tangshan.
Li Pinxian and Liao Lei themselves were both from Guangxi, and they were also Bai Chongxi's Baoding military cadets, and they themselves did not have much contradiction with Bai Chongxi, so Li and Liao did not tie Up Bai Chongxi and give them to Jiang, but advised him to escape as soon as possible.
Bai Chongxi, who had been reduced to the commander of the light pole, had no choice but to secretly go to Tianjin by ship to Hong Kong Island under the protection of Liao Lei
